• I have many journals that sit on the shelf at home. They chronicle many aspects of my life. I love to look through them, enjoying the things I have written or the pictures there in. It is my hope that as you look through these pages, that you too will enjoy the things placed so lovingly here.
    It has been a journey that has seen me through many joys and a few heartaches. From the start of Crimson Chickadee and my growth as a person and as a photographer. From the realization that how many fans I have on my facebook page does not merit my worth, to the swelling in my heart as I hit publish to a post that I know will mean so much to the intended recipient.
    I hope you join me often, with a good cup of coffee, and enjoy these pages as much as I do creating them.

Rusted Ruffle

This has been a busy fall for me, more than I had planned! In the spring Mom and I decided to broaden our horizons and the concept of the Rusted Ruffle was born. I started building the website and looking at product and what kinds of things I thought I should bring to the table for mom and I to review. We ordered our first shipment of paper and embellishments and then I hit my busy time here at the studio. It was agreed that we would put things on hold with the Rusted Ruffle until the fall. Here the fall is pretty much over and I have been busier than a little bee trying to get everything finished and my sessions edited!

I am making myself accountable to getting all of the Rusted Ruffle site finished by the end of October…so if I don’t answer your phone call when you call to chat…please don’t feel like I am not interested in visiting! I have my head buried deep in the many files and folders on Big Mac. I am excited to tell you that we do have a website! WOO HOO!! and a Facebook page!

Please stop by and have a look around…and look for the store to be online Nov. 1st!

I am practically rolling on the floor…

I am laughing so hard!  Why???

welllll… Dolly and I have a routine that  we could do with our eyes closed every morning.  We come downstairs, let the dogs out, turn computer on, make coffee, tv on to treehouse…you can see it, just laxing for a short few minutes before we get going.  I sit down to check emails while she watches tv and eats her banana.  I turn the on music and the first song out this morning is “all the single ladies”.

She comes running as fast as she can..and starts dancing.  As I am watching her I notice she could be right in the video…she has the moves down!  She is stomping around back and forth, when the lyrics say “put your hands in the air” up go the hands!  She is waving her hands and showing me her hands during the chorus…shaking her booty.  This is all cute but it is what happens next that gets me laughing.  Dolly doesn’t talk words…she jibbers away in toddler talk so when she starts singing….

woa uh oh uh uh oh

woa uh oh uh uh oh

right in tune and on time that I can’t contain myself.  Ohh where is the video camera when you need it!!!

My real reason for sitting down to write this post is to discuss something I would like to do until mothers day.  A photographer  friend of mine, Stephanie from Bellini Portraits, runs posts on MOMAPRENEURS.  You can check out her beautiful work HERE.   So in honour of all the hard working mothers out there I will be showcasing MOMAPRENEURS here on the blog.  If you are a hard working Momapreneur and would like to be a part of this  or you know someone who is send me an email and we will showcase you and your work here.

Everyone else…keep your eyes here on the blog.  You never know what I will post about next.
